Eels: Junior Paulo has been named to back up just 48 hours after Origin III. Marata Niukore shifts back to lock, Makahesi Makatao to the bench and Nathan Brown to the reserves. Ryan Matterson (ribs) remains sidelined after missing the win over the Tigers. Jake Arthur has been added to the bench for his first game since Round 8 and Tom Opacic goes to 18th Man.

Warriors: Departing fullback Reece Walsh returns to the side after missing the New Zealand homecoming due to COVID-19 protocols. Walsh, who announced his return to the Broncos in 2023, will be looking to finish his brief time at the club on the right note. Walsh's return sees Chanel Harris-Tavita shift back to five-eighth with youngster Ronald Volkman sidelined by a virus.

Edward Kosi has scored seven tries in his past five games for Redcliffe in Hostplus Cup last weekend and gets a shot on the wing in place of Dallin Watene-Zelezniak (COVID). Jack Murchie gets a start on the bench with Bayley Sironen suffering a fractured eye socket.

Interim coach Stacey Jones has also been isolating after a positive COVID test and it is yet to be determined whether he will be able to join the team in Sydney.

Roosters: Still no sign of playmaker Luke Keary, who hasn’t played since Round 14 due to concussion symptoms, leaving Joey Manu to play in the No.6 jersey once again. Captain James Tedesco is named to back up from Origin III and is joined in the starting team by Blues team-mates Daniel Tupou and Angus Crichton. Prop Matt Lodge is a chance of making his club debut after being included in the reserves, while Jared Waerea-Hargreaves has recovered from a hamstring injury and will come off the interchange in his first game since Round 12.

Dragons: Ben Hunt's fitness will be monitored ahead of the clash with the Dragons captain likely to play more minutes in the Origin III decider after the withdrawal of Cameron Munster. Winger Mikaele Ravalawa's hamstring injury sees Tautua Moga join the starting side while Jack de Belin also starts in place of the suspended Tariq Sims. The new man on the bench is Aaron Woods.

Broncos: Origin reps Corey Oates and Pat Carrigan have been named among the reserves and may come into the squad later in the week but Selwyn Cobbo, and Kurt Capewell will be rested.
